Arcelya Barajas, director of Neighborhood Services, presented the item and said the land was previously purchased using the city’s redevelopment housing set‑aside funds. Barajas explained that the land‑use entitlements for the site had been approved by council earlier in April, and that this DDA is the final step to convey the property under NRS 268.058 for affordable housing.

Barajas said the proposed development had city entitlements and that the DDA will allow the city to sell the parcel to Oikos Development Nevada to permit construction of the 22‑unit building. Councilwoman Pamela Diaz moved the motion to approve the disposition and development agreement; the clerk recorded the motion and the item passed.

Why it matters: The sale uses redevelopment housing funds and follows statutory procedures (NRS 268.058) to convert a city parcel into an affordable housing development; council approval completes the land‑transfer step after prior land‑use approvals.

Formal action: The council approved the disposition and development agreement to sell the parcel for development of an affordable residential project; the applicant/owner on the record was identified as Oikos Development Nevada and staff noted Chico Clark was present from the project team for questions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CLV 07-16-2025 City Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The council approved a disposition and development agreement (DDA) to sell city-owned property at West Van Buren Avenue and F Street to a private developer for a 22-unit affordable multifamily building; land-use entitlements were previously approved and the sale follows redevelopment set-aside funding rules under NRS 268.058.","taxTitle","Las Vegas , Clark County, Nevada","taxId",2670,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6517070,"Council approves $40,000 for eight neighborhood projects through Neighborhood Partners Fund",336,4793000,5129000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5423114-46877f7482aefc0ff8871bb2bd7305f5&start=4793&end=5129","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5423114-46877f7482aefc0ff8871bb2bd7305f5/thumbnail_4793000.jpg","/articles/6517070/Las-Vegas/Clark-County/Nevada/Council-approves-40000-for-eight-neighborhood-projects-through-Neighborhood-Partners-Fund","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6517070-7cc84b8c399eab4318a4d22406afdf57/orig.mp4?Expires=1771022190&Signature=PYq0apRucohN-1cgsCdvSHfLIXWajObyyyuJdYUtf7rr9OxCxIZ0hil-0Rkdho5gmoKbg1gbadd-GTZudhBAJdgxNOFPkGRaN7WCQZX8TQZEYYupa~AdDdBK3SBT~1~RsPPYcNrDV~0~qZC0eg7yHRgpmkxyAiFWX2CWUfwJroV4Dp~2n6CCoiHzYBQS2iNxU7D-HIkO4UxQvkEM6eSx27rKF-ecq76vPrFXPqVpanelNxEKP~EtwVCfcYv7Kl04mvo5KYXWJTD21abxz40Odxvc8tjGT8BfX7guRLw~G4AloP2fIERzKsnfKusafg2Gq0xKYyDyk8wiXOExP15DEA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Las Vegas City Council on July 16 approved the Neighborhood Partners Fund Board’s recommendation to award $40,000 to eight neighborhood associations for the 2025–26 fiscal year.

Arcelya Barajas, director of Neighborhood Services, summarized the program’s goals and matching requirements; the Neighborhood Partners Fund provides up to $5,000 per association for volunteer-led public-safety, physical-improvement and community-engagement projects. Aaron Batista, vice chair of the Neighborhood Partners Fund Board, explained the board’s evaluation and the recommended awards.

The board recommended $5,000 each to the following associations: Buffalo Coalition Neighborhood Association; Crestwood Neighborhood Association; Fremont Street Loft Homeowners Association; Lakeside Village Homeowners Association; Rainbow Family Park Neighborhood Association; Rock Springs Vista 3; Tanglewood Homeowners Association; and Timberlake Street and Landscape Maintenance Association. Batista said the total board recommendation is $40,000 with a reported total match of $88,644.30 from the associations.

Councilman Pamela Diaz moved to approve the grants as recommended; the clerk recorded the motion and the item passed.

Why it matters: The Neighborhood Partners Fund supports volunteer neighborhood associations with small, matched grants to complete local safety and improvement projects. The board and city staff said the program leverages volunteer labor and in‑kind contributions to multiply the city’s investment.

Formal action: The council approved the board’s slate of eight grants totaling $40,000; the grants require volunteer match and are administered by Neighborhood Services. Batista and Barajas were on the record presenting the recommendation and answering questions from the council.","The City Council approved the Neighborhood Partners Fund Board’s recommendation to allocate $40,000 in small grants to eight neighborhood associations citywide for safety, improvements and engagement projects.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6517074,"Council approves construction and code updates, dozens of land‑use and consent items; several items abeyed",329,5383000,5712000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5423114-46877f7482aefc0ff8871bb2bd7305f5&start=5383&end=5712","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5423114-46877f7482aefc0ff8871bb2bd7305f5/thumbnail_5383000.jpg","/articles/6517074/Las-Vegas/Clark-County/Nevada/Council-approves-construction-and-code-updates-dozens-of-landuse-and-consent-items-several-items-abeyed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6517074-bf6a3fd3335796f096bae70fdcceaf84/orig.mp4?Expires=1771022190&Signature=GXl3-SE8ztjcLqvCgqg0v3yNG~gh-Ln74C4kT0gYysCxB3McKCqKSS0X9lrEYcShCIGECLhQf8B0kVlC0ibCe1TARWUpZ~YM3owfIJgq9bLtXTCkWA52NLCFjPVWIlXyFDGUoRj7OLURXCDIlVKhCV00s4XBSZZ-hx07we9RnHz5~WtQypN8j3HIZ41wUBiqZSIVvFWKj1qp2ESoYT-6FRwlIesNDxIOC2kLiMumM0NaezhSRJWarmH2Nsp5wn6~LZ-R6~E1CvntX2ruEA-bGWUegrcdvyFk6p7nBy2Yw6tv88dQIWVE9GQKryiU65meoW6VNHDvmI66ujhrTjc5yQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Las Vegas City Council on July 16 approved a package of code adoptions and a number of routine and land‑use items that city staff had recommended for enactment, while also moving several applications to later meetings.

Among the formal actions the council approved were a series of ordinances adopting updated building and safety codes and local amendments: the 2024 International Building Code; the 2024 International Residential Code; the 2024 International Existing Building Code; the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code; the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code; the 2024 edition of the Uniform Mechanical Code; the 2024 edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code; the 2023 National Electrical Code with local amendments; the 2024 International Fire Code (to be adopted as the city's fire code, with local modifications); and the 2024 International Wildland‑Urban Interface Code. Council members moved and approved the bills after the City Attorney read each ordinance into the record; the motions passed and staff posted the ordinances for adoption.

The council also approved several annexation and map‑related ordinances, an update to landlord training provisions in LVMC 6.9.10, and other local code amendments that staff recommended for adoption.

Votes at a glance (formal actions reported on the record):
- Approval of minutes for the June 18, 2025 regular meeting (item 9).
- Consent agenda (items 10–39): approved in one motion.
- Adoption of multiple 2024/2023 code editions and related local amendments (bills read and approved by motion during the meeting): tiny house park amendments to LVMC Title 19 (Bill 2025-12), annexations (Bills 2025‑15, 2025‑16), International Building Code (2024), International Residential Code (2024), International Existing Building Code (2024), International Energy Conservation Code (2024), International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (2024), Uniform Mechanical Code (2024), Uniform Plumbing Code (2024), National Electrical Code (2023 with local amendments), International Fire Code (2024, adopted as city fire code), International Wildland‑Urban Interface Code (2024), and other related bills listed on the record.
- Multiple land-use approvals voted as grouped items: items 65–70 (various special use permits and site development reviews), item 75 (Somerset Academy expansions, item 75A–D approved by motion), item 76 (outdoor storage facility), item 77 (child‑care facility and related variances), item 78 (sign variance), item 79 (motor vehicle sales special use permit), item 82 (off‑premise sign review) and other individually read land‑use items that staff and Planning Commission had recommended for approval.

Items placed in abeyance or advanced: the council accepted staff and applicant requests to abey or re‑schedule several items, including item 59 (abeyance to August 6), item 64 (abeyance), item 72 (abeyance to September 17), and several site‑specific petitions that were continued to later dates as recorded on the agenda.

Why it matters: The package of code adoptions updates local technical standards and influences construction, permitting and inspection practices across Las Vegas. The land‑use votes, both approvals and abeyances, affect development projects across multiple wards and address neighborhood concerns raised during hearings.

What the record shows: Most motions were introduced by Councilwoman Pamela Diaz or Mayor Pro Tem during the meeting; in each case the clerk recorded that the motion passed or that the item was abeyed. The session did not record detailed roll‑call tallies for each ordinance vote on the audio transcript; the minutes reflect the council’s approvals as “motion passes” or “item passes.”","At its July 16 meeting the Las Vegas City Council approved a slate of building-code adoptions, consent agenda items and multiple land-use permits; several items were placed in abeyance for future meetings.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":79,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6517080,"Las Vegas council approves sale and redevelopment plan for Desert Pines golf course",2555,2238000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5423114-46877f7482aefc0ff8871bb2bd7305f5&start=2238&end=4793","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5423114-46877f7482aefc0ff8871bb2bd7305f5/thumbnail_2238000.jpg","/articles/6517080/Las-Vegas/Clark-County/Nevada/Las-Vegas-council-approves-sale-and-redevelopment-plan-for-Desert-Pines-golf-course","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6517080-8c0b44b53ae080b80fcba7042115ab65/orig.mp4?Expires=1771022190&Signature=ZBVmTBnJu9Z6FFwXso7Hw9WgteiYkgTXDqNkz51omQDzenU9XmQf-R1gy9sb~Iveyf5q4YmqW~rHzqOI5ESAwdh-LefnxURzId5OACzDEHVTj3OAvYhMJyzwmMxst0LUAJsTqKSV1MziSPjRNXzf5pyqa43JjJVb7ZGeffn70pgSf7nK59MZ2vNYaCQB-9hBeTUyIbw89c1mRY97rMhG9EfT7itp5-l7NWz9UMIKQS9l6wYICqxYUEW7IJEoSezX2Pwd2vsuavcMWkHdBiXMO1c1NrTCEdDb9~rUllhi-RqwnL~WfIzjpeiga07lKNJF-YkZgRqTqwldtkXwGI9hfQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Las Vegas City Council voted July 16 to approve the sale and an associated package of land-use entitlements for the 95-acre Desert Pines Golf Course, moving forward a multi-phased redevelopment that will include affordable multifamily housing, for-sale homes, parks and an early-learning center.

Dina Babsky, director of Economic and Urban Development for the city, said the proposal would use city-controlled land to expand housing choices in East Las Vegas and advance the city’s East Las Vegas special-area plan. “This is really a great opportunity,” Babsky said during the presentation.

The council approved a resolution authorizing the city to sell the site to Desert Pines Master Development, LLC, and approved related General Plan and zoning entitlements that staff and the Planning Commission had recommended. Councilwoman Pamela Diaz moved the motions to approve the sale (item 43) and to approve the associated land-use items (items 73A–73E); the council voted to post and the items passed.

Under the approved deal, the city will sell the site for $17,450,000, a discounted price the city and developer said was structured so proceeds and later parcel sales can support on-site affordable housing. The developer team is led by McCormick Baron Salazar (51% ownership) with Urban Strategies (49%) as a partner.

City and developer representatives described the projected housing mix and financing plan. The proposal calls for a minimum of 1,566 total units across phases — a mix of affordable multifamily rental, mixed‑use for‑sale townhomes and single-family homes — and at least 593 committed affordable units, with a stated goal to increase that number if financing permits. Vincent Bennett, CEO of McCormick Baron Salazar, described a “quality mixed-income approach” and said the developer would layer private debt and equity with public resources and philanthropic and corporate commitments.

Public and private funding streams identified by city staff and the developer include a $25,000,000 loan approved by the Nevada State Infrastructure Bank for Phase 1 infrastructure; $8,000,000 of Clark County affordable housing funds (an ARPA allocation) set aside for Parcel 1 construction; a $5,000,000 Economic Development Administration grant for a CSN (College of Southern Nevada) East Side training center; $8,000,000 in city ARPA funds toward the training center construction; and a $6,000,000 ARPA allocation the city previously used to buy down and revise the golf course lease to make redevelopment possible. Babsky told the council the developer’s purchase structure will use deeds of trust and parcel‑by‑parcel transactions so the developer can access financing for each parcel when ready.

City staff cautioned that a federal Land and Water Conservation Fund encumbrance currently affects the site; Babsky said the city is working with state and federal partners to relocate that encumbrance and expects that work to be completed by November. Staff said the golf-course operator requires six months’ notice to vacate after the encumbrance is addressed.

The city’s schedule presented to the council calls for initial redevelopment activity to begin after encumbrance removal; staff said the first affordable housing parcel is expected to break ground in late 2027 and that the project will be built in two phases. The developers said the entire project will be phased over many years.

Developers and the city said they intend to use a project labor agreement and have a letter of intent with the Southern Nevada Building Trades Council. The developer team also described plans for on-site property management, partnerships for social services (with Urban Strategies leading service coordination), and an early‑learning center on a later parcel.

Why it matters: The deal converts nearly 100 acres of city‑controlled land into a planned mixed‑income community adjacent to the East Las Vegas CSN training center, with explicit mechanisms to route proceeds and market-rate parcel sales into financing affordable units. The package bundles land disposition, entitlements and infrastructure financing, and the council’s approvals move the project from negotiation to implementation steps.

What council approved (summary of formal actions): The council approved a resolution (R-50-2025) authorizing sale and disposition of Desert Pines Golf Course to Desert Pines Master Development, LLC (item 43), and approved the related land‑use entitlements (items 73A–73E) and the Desert Pines development agreement. Councilwoman Pamela Diaz moved the motions; no roll-call tallies were read on the record.

Next steps and conditions: City staff will continue the process to clear the Land and Water Conservation Fund encumbrance, coordinate required notices to the golf-course operator, finalize the disposition and development agreement documents, and oversee parcel‑by‑parcel map and site‑plan reviews prior to construction. Developers said financing timing for additional affordable units will depend on capital markets and state/federal program guidelines.

Speakers from the meeting who addressed the project included Dina Babsky (Director, Economic and Urban Development), Vincent Bennett (CEO, McCormick Baron Salazar), Dan Falcone (President, Falcone Group), Jennifer Lasovich (legal/land‑use representative for the developer), and Peter Lowenstein (City planning staff).","The City Council approved a discounted sale and a package of land-use entitlements to redevelop the 95-acre Desert Pines Golf Course into mixed-income housing, parks, an early-learning center and a CSN training site; the deal relies on multiple public funding sources and includes obligations to use proceeds for affordable housing.","actionData","errors"]
